D-team on stage D-Man and the Gangsta. Crowd had great energy and loved them both. With an interesting mix of U/S's for the show. Sat A109/110 center orchestra with hugs who I had bought a great b-day ticket present for. We sat next to a couple who had seen Layton in London couple years ago.
Shine/Solidarity
First things first praise where it is deserved. Liz Pearce was amazing as Mrs W. She played the role with a rough edged no non sense personality. Liz has a great voice and good dancing skills for the role.
Expressing Yourself
How do you come up with the words to praise a Tony nominee for Michael(David) and a two continent 3 city Billy(Dayton). So I will be brief and leave it to someone else
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
. Love the line that David inserts in place of the (now that's horrible) when looking for a dress for Billy. Its now"Sh*g me sideways" When Dayton and David do the dance and tap its like David never left. Plenty of loud applause and laughter.
BTB
Liz, Thommie and Dayton nail the tap and jump rope with no mistakes. Dayton is a whirlwind with the jump rope. Absolutely great. Thommie gets the laughter and applause from this lively crowd.
Angry Dance
Dayton is an absolute favorite of mine since the first time I saw him for the effort he shows. Every time out Dayton puts 110% into his dance. When Dayton is done Angry Dance there is nothing left to give in effort. He has a powerful and dramatic loud scream to end. Big issue that has not happened for a while. The crowd stopped applauding before Dayton was half way off stage and did not start again till the look back.
Dream Ballet
David does full split for nutcracker joke. David gets right up in Dayton's face with his dance and pushes him around to try and get him to do ballet. Grant and Dayton do a nice job together. There is a wire scene with an u/s which brings a smile to my face

and clapping from the audience.
Electricity
Dayton does his one handed acro handstand move off the chairs

. I am not positive but I believe this is very close to being Dayton's full routine for Electricity. Which just leaves the piano flip as his only thing not aloud. What a crowd pleasing and standing O deserving performance and routine hugs says to me and I agree with. Sigh Dayton did not get his standing O but got his long applause that he deserved.
Finale/SD
Love the "God is he(Dayton) really going to to do more" when people realize the Finale has a dance number
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
. As I said above great crowd today. I think I am now wearing a permanent bulls-eye that says BE fanatic
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
. Liz Pearce recognizes me from seeing the show at SD when I take picture of her and hugs together. I feel embarrassed
![Embarrassed :oops:](./images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)
because I have never even said hello to her before. Great crowd of pic and autograph seekers at SD.
